Creed II was the continuation of the Rocky saga and sequel to the 2015 critically-acclaimed and crowd-pleasing 2015 hit Creed, which took in more than $170 million at the worldwide box office. Ryan Coogler (Black Panther), who directed the first film, returns to the franchise as an executive producer on Creed II.

Life had become a balancing act for Adonis Creed. Between personal obligations and training for his next big fight, he was up against the challenge of his life. Facing an opponent with ties to his family’s past only intensified his impending battle in the ring. Rocky Balboa was there by his side through it all and, together, Rocky and Adonis confronted their shared legacy, questioned what’s worth fighting for and discovered that nothing’s more important than family. Creed II was about going back to basics to rediscover what made you a champion in the first place, and remembering that, no matter where you go, you can’t escape your history.
